I really WANT to like this but outlook is kinda grim. The first Robocop was the 1st rated R movie I ever so as a kid and it holds a special place in my childhood. I don't like the fact he seems more average joe and can go and talk to his kid. Or omitting the terrible gun shot part that nearly kills him for a car bomb, those are key. Plus if there isn't a toxic sludge, melting guy scene the movie will 100% be a failure in my eyes

Looks like it's missing the gory excesses, evil sense of humor and future shock of the original. Could be cool, anyway. Badass robots have a way of carrying otherwise unremarkable movies. Badass robots are a *reason* to make a movie. Take the robots out of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and you're left with Angelina Jolie and vapor, pretty much.
